Challenge Window for TGPSC AEE 2026: Rules Candidates Should Know
The answer key provided is a tentative solution and may not be the last. Candidates are allowed to formally challenge a potentially wrong answer if they believe it to be incorrect by using the commission's online facility.
But just saying that an answer is wrong isn't enough. For each challenge, there should be a logical argument and a valid piece of documentary evidence that demonstrate why the published response needs to be reconsidered.
The objection facility will be open until 5:00 PM on 2 November 2026. So, it is advisable for the applicants to finish the process in advance of the closing time.
Financial Requirements for Submitting an Answer Key Challenge
The payment for every question challenged by the candidate is stipulated by TGPSC as ₹500. The payment has to be made through the online payment gateway available on the objection portal.
Also, the amount of the objection is refunded if the commission accepts the challenge as valid.
The following points should be considered before making the payment by the candidates:
- The fee is calculated separately for every disputed question.
- Challenges must be submitted through the prescribed online facility.
- Supporting evidence must accompany the objection.
- The fee is refunded if the commission accepts the objection.
- Candidates should retain the transaction confirmation and submission acknowledgement.
Preparing a Strong Objection: Documents and Information to Keep Ready
A well-supported objection provides the commission with the information needed to consider another answer. Candidates should ensure they have their references to hand and double-check the question number before commencing submission.
The supporting material can consist of typical engineering reference books, recognised academic publications and technical references that are relevant.
It is good practice for candidates to include the author, publication/publisher, edition, page number, and website URL (where applicable). The explanation should be clear and written in English and directly answer the disputed answer.
Do not provide partial or incomplete references or explanations that are not technical in nature.
What to expect after the provisional answer key?
The answer verification process will start when the objection period is over. TGPSC will evaluate the challenges submitted within the time limit, and if it feels that any changes are required, it will do so.
After the commission's final review, any errors will be corrected in the final answer key, if necessary. The following result preparation will be based on the evaluation procedure established by the commission.
Candidates will be advised to check official result dates and not to believe any unverified result dates or updates passed around.
EA Publications advises to keep a safe copy of the examination papers downloaded and a copy of the Objection acknowledgement until the end of the recruitment exercise.
